Rose said it was out of character for Tierney to be spending time with men she did not know at a club she worked in after hours. There is no suggestion that the management of the club is implicated in her death.

But the Melbourne venue became the scene of a crime once before when three members of a notorious Australian outlaw motorcycle gang launched a "ferocious" attack on a man in April 2011.

According to The Age, construction worker Rongomai Wairau had his cheek, nose and eye broken after he tried to enter a toilet stall being used by former-Comancheros bikies Moses Lance Folau, Andres Fabian Ruffatt and Samson Bazi.

Court documents state Wairau was punched without warning before the men unleashed a flurry of blows, placed him in a choke hold and dragged him up and down the hall.

A judge sentenced the men to between two years and 25 months jail over the "cowardly attack" after they all pleaded guilty to intentionally causing injury.

The club has operated without incident since the attack, up until the death of Tierney.

The venue caters to bucks parties and private functions, with secluded rooms available away from marble-clad podiums where the 'Dream Girls' parade kicks off at 1am on Saturday.

Promotional material advertises three-song lap dances for $50 and often offers free entry for those following its social media accounts if they obtain a secret access word.

Events range from poker nights to "Full Throttle Thursdays" and "Super Sexy Fridays", with Tierney seen sporting a Grand Prix costume on a night the club held a themed party for the event.

Private dancing areas of the club are cordoned off with a red rope and reportedly are not under surveillance.

Police have not revealed any details about the last hours of Tierney's life, but said a post-mortem will be conducted to determine her cause of death.

A spokesperson for Ambulance Victoria confirmed they were called to the scene following reports of a medical issue but could not reveal the circumstances surrounding the incident for privacy reasons.
